Waaah! I love his clothing! And this is rather in tie with the birthday gift I'll hopefully send you sometime soon! ;)

But, honestly, I find his face slightly creepy. His look is so far away...

In any case, I'm positively mesmerized by the clothes! I didn't know you liked to sew and embroider. His removable shoes are just awesome! Wonderful! And his belt! The trousers! Yay!

Creepy? Oh. Okay. You're not the only one; it appears ABJDs are sometimes referred to as "those creepy dolls" (not by their owners, obviously). To be honest, I really can't see that myself. I fell in love with this doll right away and think he is unspeakably cute XD. But I put his eyes in myself, so if there is something strange about his look, that may possibly be adjustable by someone more expert than me

To say the truth, I find most dolls slighly creepy, especially the china ones. Maybe this depends from the fact that, before settling on Richard III, I was supposed to write my degree thesis on dolls which become alive, like in The Sandman by Hoffman. I collected a small bibliography on the theme, and probably inconsciously I still believe that there are dolls with a soul...

Awesome! ♥ The doll is great, but your costume so much more so, a wonderful ensemble. I can absolutely understand wanting to make dolls of own characters. It brings them even more to life, doesn't it?

It does! It's just fun to see the costume 'live' instead of in pictures, and to have this little man sitting or standing on my desk while I work :D.

Thank you!

His clothes are awesome! And you made the shoes, too? Honestly, you are so talented.

Naww, the clothes and shoes are really simple. I'm just lucky he doesn't need a Tudor costume or something :).

I'm so glad you like the result! :D
